Mr.. Watson has received two cal
loads of calves from New York with.
in the past week. They are of ex-
cellent blood and came in good con
dition.
Business at this place never lags
1t increases all the time which we
think augurs well for the future
and proves that Opekiska will be
still more important business
point.
Mrs. Watson's idea of making this
an important place was good one
and experience has proved the wis
dom of his effort.

Our Cassyille Budget.

CAssvILLE, Sept. l9.-Already the
autumnal tints may be seen upon
the foliage of the trees, which with
the chilly nights tells us that sum
mer is nearly gone and autumn is
knocking at the door.
Many of our people are taking
time by the forelock and are filling
their coal bins ere the roads get bad.
Many of our citizens are having
wells sunk this dry weather. Lay
ton & Frum are doing the work. A
good well is needed badly at the In
Urinary. The well there is not deep
enough and is made unfit for use by
the surface water almost every little
freshet.
Jos. Pickenpaugh is having an
other story added to his store, which
with the lower room enlarged, is
making quite an extensive affair.
j. B. Cole has added some new
shelves to his store which have been
filled with new goods.
NJ. c. Ramsay will start a buck
ster wagon soon. Surely these, with
the new buildings going up are in
dications of better times.
Jno. Tucker, wife and little daugh-
ter, of Littleton, Wetzel county, were
visiting here last week.
DIR. d. H. Courtney, who is doing
so well in his profession at Mt. Nor
ris, will fill the vacancy at the In
Urinary, caused by the appointment
of DR., Hood at Weston.
Mrs. Sylvester Barker, of Morgan
town, is visiting friends here this
week.
David Hoffman has sent for Dr.
I. M. Hood, who, with the assist
ance of DR.. Courtney, will amputate
his foot at the ankle. Surely Dave
deserves the sympathy of all sympa-
thizing people.

am Railroad ninieulties.

The affairs OF the West Virginia
Railroad appear complicated. 1t
seems now quite certain that the
contractor, Albert Pitcairn, will be
unable to go on with the work. We
understand he has demanded in
writing that the Board of Directors,
stock, &c, shall all be surrendered
to his control without any reserva-
tion whatever before he will make
any effort to carry out his contract.
As the stock represents large sums
of money, time and labor expended
in rights of way, surveys, coal lands
and other expenses of the company,
this demand looks like an effort to
.sfreeze OUT everybody else and to
gobble the whole enterprise. If he
makes this demand now how long
before he will demand that the la
borers, sawyers, teamsters and all
others who worked on the road, shall
surrender their claims or liens with
out any reservation whatever, before
he will make any effort to go on with
his contract The one is as unrea-
sonable and unjust as the other
would be, and both will be reproba-
ted by all honorable persons and re-
sisted by the parties in interest. If
he can 60 on now upon such CON
dition, it would look as though his
abandonment of work and failure to
pay in August was voluntary and
part of a preconcerted scheme to
wreck the road with view Of fore
ing out everybody else that he might
have the benefit of their work and
money without paying for it. We
understand that he has not turned
over to the creditors of Tenant &
johnson the bonds that he assigned
to them. Whether any attempt has
been made to compel him to do this
we have not learned In the mean
time the failure to pay the laborers
and others, which is likely to cause
great suffering, is directly chargeable
to Mr.. Pitcairn. Many labor liens
have been entered up against the
road, and suits are certain to be
brought with costs, delays and de-
probation of the property, with no
profit to anybody but the lawyers
and court officers.
The only sensible solution of the
difficulties that surround the enter
prise is for all the parties in interest
to make some concessions each to
the other, enlist additional capital
and push the road to a speedy com
pletion. In this way only will any
of them profit. A more promising
project considering everything, if
these temporary difficulties can be
removed, does not exist IN the State

Useful and NnrtfuI Medicines.

There is certain class of rene
dies for constipation absolutely use
less. These are boluses and potions
made in great part of podophyllin,
aloes, rhubarb, gamboge. and other
worthless ingredients. The damage
they do TO the stomachs of those
who use them is incalculable. They
evacuate the bowels, it is true, but
always do so violently and profusely,
and besides, grippe the bowels. Their
effect is to weaken both them and
the stomach. Better far to use the
agreeable and salutary aperient,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the lax
alive effect Of which is never pre-
ceeded by pain, or accompanied by
a convulsive, violent action of the
bowels. On the contrary, it invigor-
ates those organs, the stomach and
the entire system. AS a means of cur
ing and preventing malarial fevers,
no medicine can compare with it,
and it remedies nervous debility,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder in
activity, and other inorganic all
ments.

A Young Woman Suicides.

Miss Melissa Geary, aged about
80 years, and residing with her par
ents in East Bethlehem towship,
Washington county, near Sandy
Plains, was found hanging by rope
to the rafters in her fathers work
shop, Saturday morning. Miss
Geary was an invalid, and since
March had been insane. Her father
and mother have taken turns in
guarding her, as she had several
times threatened to take the lives of
different members of the family, and
declared that she could not die a
natural death, believing that it was
fore ordained that she should die in
some other manner. Friday night
her father was sitting up watching
her, but for a short time fell asleep,
waking before four o'clock, however,
he discovered that his daughter was
missing. Search was at once insti-
tuted and her body was found as de-
scribed She had tied rope around
the rafter, then placing a tub on the
floor, she stood on it and fastened the
other end of the rope about her neck.
Stepping off she was stangled to
death. Near by was burning Ian
tern and a butcher knife. Deceased
had been member of the Christian
Church. Her remains were inferred
at Zollarsville, on Sabbath, Rev.
Streator. conducting the services

Mr.. Lagge is spoken of as a gentle

The earnings of the F. NJ. d p.
Railroad for the month Of August
were greater than for any previous
month in its history. The receipts
at Morgantown for both passengers
and freight were greater than ever
before and we learn on the upper end
several times greater than ever be-
fore. The gross earnings of the B.
d 0. system for the month were
$2,0S4,000.
1t is reported that after the first
of October a freight train will be
put on the F. M. q P. the great
amount of work at the mines making
it impossible for the regular trains
to do it. This will be matter of

trains under the present arrange

than once a month during the sum-

Work on our railroad has begun
The B. & 0. telegraph office at Tun-
Melton was moved back so that the
side track east and west of it could
be connected, the third rail was laid,
and the work of laying track begun
by a force of men, The rail used is
fine steel one, 30 pounds to the
yard, and the spikes and plates are
also first class. The locomotive will
be on in day or two. 1t is of 16
tons weight and bears the name of
"Kingwood." A fine passenger
coach and combination car are be-
ing made. The road will reach
Kingwood by November 1st.-King-
